  1. Film WI: If "Blazing Saddles" had the "original" casting

    Absolutely. Been a classic. I can almost here him saying "somebody needs to go back and get a shitload of dimes!" The Waco Kid needed someone who was NOT the classic Western gunfighter. Pryor would have been interesting in the role, although his approach would certainly have been vastly...

    Guess the only question is who caused the act of nuclear terrorism.

    What are some likely convergences?

    ...the occasional existing colonial hamlet that got assimilated by an Anglo majority in no time flat. In fairness - New Orleans and its surrounding *Acadiana region was the one place in the lands mentioned with a significant "alien" presence in terms of urban population, and Jefferson and...
  4. Khmer Rouge adopts Primitive communism

    As somebody else mentioned, "primitive communism" is not a political program. It's a term used to describe premodern economies. If you're looking for a political ideology which seeks to replicate primitive communism today, "anarcho-primitivism" is the term you want. To answer OP's question, no...

    For All Mankind (AH Tv series at Apple TV)

    I don't disagree that his "man up" ploy worked I'm just saying I hated that he attacked his friend like that. I know that he is of that generation that saw weakness of any kind as unbecoming of a man. More so when you're an Apollo astronaut like he was. Still just because his ploy worked...
  7. AHC/WI: Stronger IJN light cruiser line

    Hadn't read that before, but it makes the same argument I've been making, except it does it in a more concise manner. The RN were under extreme pressure from the Exchequer, more than the IJN or USN had to face in their overall budgets, in no small part due to the fact that the British Empire...
  8. Film WI: If "Blazing Saddles" had the "original" casting

    People knew that racism was bad back then when he made his white supremacy comments and lambasted native Americans for being 'selfish' for not giving all their land to white people. So it's judging by the standards of his own day as much as anything else. You don't need to wear a hood or do the...

    Threadmarks: Part 82: War in the East

    Part LXXXII: War in the East Andronikos III was crowned Basileos Augustos in 1192, at the age of forty, making him already well into middle age when he took full power, and he will remain there for over three decades. As such Andronico’s already had children of his own, a daughter name Sophia...

    Romanov Ascendant: What if the Soviet Union survived?

    I'll probably defer to you on this, I did know Tanzania went socialist but I wasn't aware that they were more oriented towards China than the Soviet Union. I wasn't aware of the severity of the Ogaden War either, I think Somalia is definitely going to or has already collapsed (at this point) in...
  12. WI British/Italian war in the 1930s

    a British-Italian war or French-Italian war presents at least the opportunity for earlier German annexation of Austria? would the SCW even happen without a fascist bloc to support the Nationalists?

    What are some likely convergences?

    ...That's like, Easy Mode for a nation in terms of difficulty if you turned history into a Civilization or Paradox-style game. Heck, considering the *Oregon Trail or some version thereof is the best east-west route across North America bar none, America controlling a good portion of the *Oregon...
  14. Film WI: If "Blazing Saddles" had the "original" casting

    Hear Hear. We are all people of our time and place and should remember that in the future people will try to apply their values and attitudes to us. How many of those we judge good and virtuous people will be looked on by their chattering classes with contempt and hatred?

    A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    Perhaps, but 300 is less interesting to do as a action film compared to Gilgamesh since it's all about Thermopylae and the Persian War. Not to mention the idea Mollusk was pitching is a homage to the old 50s sword-and-sandal films for a 90s audience, which I think is a very cool concept to...

    AHC/WI: Vietnam War ends in a ceasefire?

    The Southern cadres of the VWP would need to be eliminated, something the US and RVN repeatedly failed to do.* Or you'd need some sort of formal break between the Northern and Southern branches of the VWP, and that simply isn't happening after the rise of Le Duan. A combination of a smarter Diem...

    Linguistic situation of Britain with no Saxons.

    Assuming the Angles and Jutes come over... some variation of their language is likely to be used- but I wonder if it would be less widespread without the Saxons.
  19. ECM /recon version of mig23

    The USAF uses Boeing 707s for ELINT. Those are even less survivable than converted bombers or choppers. Not that they didn't use those as well. The B-47 and B-57 had very long careers as recon planes long after they were withdrawn from front line combat roles. Now, if you're talking about...

    Threadmarks: Part XLIX: The Opening of the Davidine Period (1523-1525)

    Part XLIX: The Opening of the Davidine Period (1523-1525) Loukas Ratetas had, during his long regency, secured the throne of the Megalokomnenoi for the young aftokrator David. Like Anastaios or Tzimiskes before him, he had overseen a period of domestic quiet and successful campaigns abroad that...
